Romero doesn't do any victim blaming on id here. He tries to show sympathy, which apparently Carmack still has no idea how to do. Sucks for everyone at id, and I honestly haven't really enjoyed any of their games since Doom 2 but they will have have a place in many gamer's hearts. Everyone how worked there deserves better than to be downsized this way.
I didn't take the Swiss for being xenophobic, until the public voted in a referendum banning minarets and running anti-niqab ads to single out minorities.
Don't say "religion" when you only mean Christianity. Some religions actually do offer proofs.
Almost all mosques are open to the public and welcoming. If they tried it they'd be told to stop running, would they like to sit down and have some tea?
Fuck you and that Ribbon.
I'm sorry. This is a topic that makes me nerd-rage.

How in the fuck does using 15% of the screen for a ribbon provide a compact interface when the menu bar is the competition?
LK
I'm so happy to hear of how many people are expressing this same sentiment.
I absolutely abhor the Ribbon interface. I don't care what their market research shows. I don't care what their shills and evangelists say. I do not like it. It's not intuitive at all.
LK
I have hated the Ribbon interface since it became the default. I use LibreOffice specifically to avoid having to use it.

That's why Amazon wanted to acquire Ring.
I have a ring camera and I'm hesitant to install it for this reason.

The problem isn't talent, it's that american big tech firms have been paying really well and are grabbing the top talent from across the world by paying top dollar.
Though that may change this year.
No country can afford to take in unlimited refugees. At some point, the answer becomes another question. "How to we raise the standard of living for people in that country because we can not afford to take any more of them here?"

The day will come that an AI will learn something that we did not deliberately teach it. When an AI is able to improve its own code, it won't be bound by the limitations of its human creator. It's only a question of when.

Can a non-biological entity feel desire? Can it want to grow and become something more than what it is? I think that's a philosophical question and not a technological one.
LK
Don't agree at all and I think that's a morally dangerous approach. We're looking for a scientific definition of "desire" and "want". That's almost certainly a part of "conscious" and "self aware". Philosophy can help, but in the end, to know whether you are right or not you need the experimental results.
Experiments can be crafted in such a way as to exclude certain human beings from consciousness.
One day, it's extremely likely that a machine will say to us "I am alive. I am awake. I want..." and whether or not it's true is going to be increasingly hard to determine.
LK
Only if we define consciousness to be a state of awareness only attainable by human beings.
An LLM can't suddenly decide to do something else which isn't programmed into it.
Can we?
It's only a matter of time until an AI can learn to do something it wasn't programmed by us to do.
Can a non-biological entity feel desire? Can it want to grow and become something more than what it is? I think that's a philosophical question and not a technological one.

Recent research has tended to show that the Abominable No-Man is being replaced by the Prohibitive Procrastinator. -- C.N. Parkinson
